A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

I would encourage finding that out via more indirect means. Wouldn't want to give the impression we're smugglers, after all.

We would never smuggle goods. :V
 
[X] The History of the Peerless Empire

Will we get the XP for the last encounters now or only when leaving Earth?

On that note, we have been every kind of criminal except a bandit/mugger. Further highlighting Viserys' highly focused hatred of banditry.

But piracy? Check.

Smuggling? Yup.

Common thievery? On occasion.

Grave robbing? Thought about it, almost did it, only put it back because we were asked nicely.

I don't think there's a type of crime we haven't done. And we're supposedly Lawful. :V
 
On another occasion, we almost did it and reconsidered, I believe.

Also, that just makes it worse that we can both name more than one occasion wherein grave robbery occurred. :V

@Goldfish, would you mind changing the tone of ''specifically the war with Brass" to "including the war with Brass"

I do want it in, asking about brass, but personally, I'd rather have that bit be a small part of the general conversation.

Not that strongly bothered about it either way tbh. :)

Don't forget kidnapping and extortion!
 
So, I'm about to make a hypocrite of myself. It's for a good cause, though!

I've been steadfastly against allowing any knowledge of our origin on the Material Plane, or how to reach it, to spread beyond those who already possess that information. On further thought, however, I believe we have been presented with as good an opportunity as we may ever have to use that information constructively and to our benefit.

There are already extraplanar powers that are aware the Plane of Balance is once more open for business; the Efreet (most likely known to at least the Bey and Sultan), the Marid (for sure, but they no longer have much in the way of centralized power, so dissemination of the info is unlikely), Hell, and the Abyss. We seem to be getting ready to get an introduction to some VIPs in Shaitan society who are in position to reward us handsomely and to potentially help us in several ways. We could buy a metric fuckton of goodwill and good old hard currency with knowledge that isn't going to remain obscured for very much longer.

And the Shaitan are by far the most benign powers we have encountered who could use the information. They are pervasive slavers, but as we've already seen, they aren't extraplanar conquerors who carry out slave raids.

I'd still prefer to sell information like that after the Three Daughters at the very least have been conquered.

It's a good bargaining chip if we gain access to a scrying proof audience. The information's value would explain why we were reluctant to share it in the open.

That was repatriation and recompense. Seriously, you don't have to invent crimes.

I'm not referring to Stannis. I'm referring to the Braavosi young man we got drunk, kidnapped, and then ransomed back to his father. Also the direct extortion event where we helped extort a store for the thieves guild.
 
Couldn't anyone and their mother divine that we are from the plane of balance? The info is valuable but not that much in the end. What's really valuable is a TP/PS spot to carry you there.
